assured of the flag Miller, who is
holding down the bag, is only fair.
With a star like the St Louis boy on

Ban Johnson's Plan to Shorten
Baseball Gams.
ROW WILL IT PAN OUT?
New Rule Concerning the Retrieving
of Foul Ball by Players la Danger
ous Undertaking Pitteburgh Needs
Wagner Other Notaa.
By TOMMY CLARK.
Byron Bancroft Johnson, president
of the American league, la making
laudable efforts to shorten the base
ball games this season. He has come
to realize that the busy Americans
would rather see nine fast Innings
played in one boar and thirty mln
utes than the same number of pe
riods dragged out to two hours and
over. . It has been argued that the
teams which consumed the greater
amount of time to play were the "In
side workmen." That they mapped
out their attack and defense better
and did not trust lo the old style slug
ging gama
That has always appeared absurd to
the writer. When any of the shrewd
managers make up their 'minds to
switch from the bit 'and run to the
sacrifice they do not have to go into
the office of the club to decide upon
the change. No; the trouble has been
that the players loafed.
It Is said that President Johnson Is
going to stop the retrieving of foul
balls by players. That Is a dangerous
undertaking. There will be too mnch
opportunity for the substitution of old
or new balls, as the occasion demands
The umpire cannot possibly keep track
of them. The thing to do Is to force
the players to keep on the mova Fine
them if they loaf needlessly.
"If I bad as much money invested In
a baseball plant as -some major league
magnates have," says Fred Clarke,
manager of the Pirates, "I would put
up a building equipped for training
at home and dispense with these spring
trips to the south, enabling the players
to get out into the open air on good
days. ' I regard the plan as entirely
feasible, and I expect to live to see the
day when some club owner will try it."
Pittsburgh is conceded to have an
excellent chance to win the National
league pennant this year. Ever since
the last season closed the Pirates have
been figured a prime contender in the
present campaign, and yet all calcnla
tions may be upset by reason of the in
Jury which has befallen Hans Wagner,
who is suffering with a bad leg.
The Pirates without Wagner would
hardly have a chance to be more than

and playing regularly they have a good

makes a great difference in a ball team,
aud it .is needless to say that Pitts
burgh cannot boast of a player who

There promises to be an invasion of
England by American professional run
ners this year. William Queal, who is
considered one of the champions on
this side of the water, has already
mmle a match with George Dinning,
the English professional, who beat him
in the last Powder hall fifteen mile
race, for a ten mile race at Edinburgh
at $ 1,000 a side.

ranks, will sail later to compete in a

HOLDS FIRM TONE
State strawberries are bringing
from $3 to $3.50 a crate in Portland
markets, and are finding a good de
mand. Most of the fruit offered is
from Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton, Willamtte valley berries not yet
having developed much strength.
California berries are still being of
fered, but have neither the appear
anc nor the flavor of the local fruit,
and are finding only a weak demand.
Eggs are about the same. Port
land is getting poor quality, and out
side stores are obtaining the best
stock. Poultrymen are still selling
to consumers direct, and seem to find
this method a paying "proposition.
Portland prices are at 20 and 21 cents
a dozen.
. Asparagus is being offered heavily,
but the price is holding around the
dollar mark. String beans are lower,
ranging from 10 to 12 cents. New
potatoes are holding firm at from
IVz to 3 cents. No market for old
spuds is. to be found.
Lettuce is being offered plentifully,
but is not finding many buyers. Most
of the salad plants offered are either
too hard or lack sweetness. Goose
berries are quoted as low as 5 cents
a pound, but are finding but little
market, principally because the fruit
does not keep.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
Denial By Mr. Smith
MACKSBURG, May 28. (Editor
Enterprise) I read in The Enter
prise an article on the recall meeting
at Needy, in which my name is con
nected, that I wish to state is un
qualifidely false in every particular,
so far as I am concerned or connect
ed, and I ask you to publish this de
nial. I would state, that I do not live in
Needy precinct, have not been there
in many months, had not signed or
circulated a recall petition; could not
be a road supervisor in that precinct
if appointed; would not take the ap
pointment in my own district of it
was handed to me in a frame, and I
was not even present at the meeting.
I would further ask that The En
terprise confine itself to the truth so
far as I am concerned hereafter, and
not drag me in with a string of ut
terly false and absurd statements.
The people are more interested in
the recall charges than in the false
statements about me. Let The En
terprise defend the charges of Mr.
Olds and others, and if it cannot,
then I would suggest that it at least
confine itself to a few truths, so that
the statements might be given a lit
tle credit.
If The Enterprise knows any truths
about me that are deserving of criti
cism, then it may put me on the
roaster..
If I have ever done anything in po
litical or business affairs to be
ashamed of, I have forgotten it, and
would like the public to do likewise.

"MAN TIGER" DIES
AT FOLSOM SOON
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 28.
After staying his execution for more
than five years, by availing himself
of every legal technicality and every
court, Jake Oppenheimer, 'the crim
inal of the century," will be executed !
at Folsom prison within the next two
weeks unless the governor intervenes
and commutes the sentence. Oppen
heimer, whose ferocity and murerous
tendencies have gained for him the
name of "Man Tiger" and have made
him the terror of guards and prison
ers alike, is considered one of the
most remarkable " criminals ever
known in this part of the country. He
has a long record of crime and is
known to have committed at least
four murders.
Oppenheimer began his career of
crime in this city many years ago,
when he was employed as a messen
ger boy for a telegraph company. One
day he was discharged by the super
intendent an promptly revenged him
self by shooting the man. Three
years later he was sentenced to 50
years' imprisonment for robbing a
drug store. A man named Ross testi
fied against him. Oppenheimer was
sent to Folsom and later, when Ross
was also sent to that institution for
some other crime, Oppenheimer
awaited him at the prison gate and
stabbed him to death.
Some time after that Oppenheimer
murdered a guard named McDonald
at the prison. As a punishment he
was placed in solitary confinement,
but obtaining a file and cutting his
way out he made a murderous assault
on a fellow convict named John Wil
son. In 1901 the state legislature of
California had passed a law impos
on a prison official or a" fellow pris
oner who should made an assault up
on a prison ocial or a fellow pris
oner. Under this law Oppenheimer
was tried in October, 1907, for his at
tack upon Wilson, who had died from
the effects of his wounds. Oppen
heimer was found guilty and was sen
tenced to death. The execution was
sat for June 6, 1908, but Oppenheim
er, through his counsel, appealed and
fought his case . through several
courts and finally the supreme court
of the United States.
While awaiting the decision of the
courts, Oppenheimer was kept in
strict confinement at the Folsom
prison. There he continued his
criminal career with unequaled cun
ning and ferocity. In company with
two other prisoners, J. W. Finley and
Francisco Quipada, Oppenheimer
made an attempt to break out of the
prison at midnight on January 6, 1910,
by sawing the bars of their cell. They
would have succeeded had not Night
Captain . Quigmire detected . them
sneaking along a corridor. He called
several of the guards and subdued
the prisoners.
